What’s impressive is that Tyler Hansbrough uses very good tackling form here — he gets low, drives with his legs, leads with his shoulder.

Of course, because this was a basketball game between the Raptors and Bulls, Hansbrough and Mike Dunleavy received double technicals for this little incident.

Late in the third quarter Dunleavy crashed into Hansbrough going for a rebound and when Hansbrough got up his first instinct apparently was to tackle Dunleavy for a five yard loss. Except, again, wrong sport and all. These two do have a history going back to when Hansbrough was in Indiana and Dunleavy was a Buck.

Not really all that hard… you can’t just hit them and expect them to fall, you need to drive through them. The follow through is the most essential part of the tackle, the part that separates a hit from a tackle.

everyone also knows it’s done with your legs. How do you possibly follow through without using your legs? If you are able to follow through on a tackle without moving your legs (apparently while moving your hips), as I said, you are some sort of odd mutant

And if Tyler Hansborough was named Leroy Hansborough he would be a thug and everything that is supposedly wrong with the NBA. This guys sucks and he got away with the same nonsense in college but again his antics have always been viewed differently because he a clean cut kid.
